Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

In a highly concentrated salt solution, concentration of water is comparatively lower than the fluid inside red blood cells. This develops a concentration gradient.

Due to this difference in concentration, the water starts flowing out of the red blood cells across its permeable layer. Due to this movement of water, red blood cell shrinks. This physical phenomenon in which a substance move from a region of high concentration to a region with lower concentration across any permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.

slava [35]

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the cat is transforming chemical energy attained from the food into kinetic energy. The later energy is used by the living species when they are performing locomotion.  

When a cat feeds on a mouse, the mouse will undergo through the process of digestion resulting in the formation of chemical energy. Thus, the food consumed by the cat will get transformed into chemical energy that can be utilized by the cat to perform its usual activities.
